House & Garden 
Garden terraces will be one 
of the subjects considered in 
the May issue 
O NE of the pleasantest ac¬ 
cusations ever leveled 
against this magazine 
was contained in the statement 
of a prominent man recently to 
the effect that each new issue of 
House & Garden cost him 
money. Upon reading a new 
copy his wife rushes out and 
spends her—and his—money 
like a profligate. It is, indeed, 
an honor to be called a temp¬ 
tation, and we rather glory in 
it. Sometimes we have thought 
that, in the last analysis, the 
editorial pages of House & 
Garden were a sort of spring¬ 
board from which its readers 
plunged into the broad and 
luxurious pool of its advertising. 
Indeed, they are a pleasant 
highway into that world where 
with gold one can purchase 
many things. And if one hasn t 
the gold? Well, then there is 
the capacity for dreams that cost 
no money, for hopes that need 
never beggar one, for plans that 
keep the heart and brain 
nimble. 
The next issue, for example, 
presents quite a bewildering ar¬ 
ray of temptations. There is a 
temptation to furnish terraces 
and porches, another to pur¬ 
chase toile de Jouy, another to 
buy water lilies and make a 
water garden. If these hold no

allure for you, then you might 
succumb to the temptation of 
remodeling a country house, or 
furnishing your home in eco¬ 
nomical relays, or start collect¬ 
ing Spode, or going in generous- 
ly for window boxes. And when 
these fail to find the way to your 
heart and purse, then the sub¬ 
ject of slip covers may, as well 
as the delightful suggestions for 
decorating rooms that men 
would enjoy to live in, the 
chatty directions as to where to 
buy antiques when you run over 
to London, the scheme for a 
cutting garden (which isn t a 
bit expensive to make) and the 
hints on selecting just the right 
wall paper for your living room. 
These are a few of the topics 
that will enter into the editorial 
pages in the May issue. It 
bears the title Spring Furnish¬ 
ing; and we are making it as 
refreshing and inspiring as a 
spring day. 
Rooms of the sort you eventu¬ 
ally will have! Houses of the 
kind you eventually will build! 
Gardens of the type you eventu¬ 
ally will plant! 
There will be such a snap 
and sparkle to its temptations, 
that, on the whole, the easiest 
way to rid one’s self of them 
will be to succumb to them.
